Our Commitment to ESG
At WMR Contractors, ESG is not a tick box exercise, it’s embedded in how we operate, how we build, and how we engage with the world around us. As a principal contractor with a strong presence across Scotland and the North of England, we take our responsibility seriously, to the environment, to our people, and to the communities we serve.
Our Approach to ESG
Supporting the Circular Economy
We actively reduce waste by donating salvaged construction materials to students at South Lanarkshire College, helping future tradespeople learn sustainably while giving materials a second life.
Environmental Commitment
We are on track to achieve ISO 14001 accreditation, reinforcing our dedication to environmental management and continual improvement across our operations.
Carbon Reduction in Focus
Our Carbon Reduction Plan will be published later this year, outlining our roadmap to lower emissions and achieve Net Zero in line with Science Based Targets, including a 50% reduction by 2030 and full Net Zero by 2050.
Championing Fair Practice
We promote ethical business practices across our supply chain, ensuring fair treatment, transparency, and long-term partnerships built on mutual respect.
Community Engagement
People are at the heart of everything we do. We actively engage with local communities wherever we work, supporting initiatives that help them thrive, from food poverty and environmental challenges to education and employment.
Making a Difference in Our Communities
We’re proud to have a team that goes above and beyond to support community initiatives. Through our social value programme, we create real impact, offering work placements to unemployed individuals, under-represented groups, students, and apprentices. We also provide rigorous training and mentoring to help build careers and confidence. Our commitment to community benefit is not just policy, it’s part of who we are.
